Private jets are highly detrimental to the environment due to their disproportionate carbon emissions relative to the number of passengers they carry. These aircraft burn vast amounts of fuel, producing significantly more CO2 per passenger than commercial flights. Additionally, their frequent use for short, non-essential trips exacerbates the problem, contributing to climate change, air pollution, and noise disturbances, while undermining efforts to reduce global emissions. Their environmental impact far outweighs their convenience, making them a symbol of unsustainable luxury.

According to climatejets.org, which analyzed flight data from 2022, the top private jet polluter was the billionaire Thomas Siebel. The founder of Siebel Systems and AI company C3.ai was in the hour 35 days, emitting the equivalent of the carbon footprint of 299 average Americans in his jet alone.
